It appears like Spotify is on faucet to get the AI therapy from Google Gemini. Android Authority noticed a Spotify extension for Google Gemini in a latest APK teardown of the Google App (model 15.30.27.29). That means quickly, you’ll have the ability to management the music streaming app through Google’s AI platform. Gemini presently has comparable performance for YouTube Music.
The extension will enable Gemini to play each music and podcasts. It additionally offers Gemini entry to your Spotify playlists and historical past. That may imply that the AI may spark a dialog about your music tastes within the close to future or maybe ask why you’ve been enjoying “Duel of the Fates” from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace all morning. I’m greater than somewhat involved about what “elements of your dialog and related data” you’ll be giving Gemini entry to so it could play your newest earworm.
Android Authority managed to get the extension to work, and whereas it’s clear it’s not prepared for prime time, it’s nonetheless intriguing. When making an attempt to play a tune, the author famous {that a} YouTube Music card initially pops up, however the chosen tune does play on Spotify.
If you employ the chatbot and sort “@spotify” and the title of no matter tune you wish to hearken to, it’ll play the music within the background as an alternative of launching the app. I’m curious if the extension will pull songs through lyric search or buzzing a lá “Name that Tune,” a characteristic for which apps like Shazam are recognized.
While it appears just like the extension is near being prepared, we don’t know if this can be a free service or if the fee can be baked right into a Spotify or Gemini subscription.
